BPH treatment - correct answer--Alpha blockers [relax bladder neck muscles in the prostate
making urination easier]; alfuzosin (Uroxatral), doxazosin (Cardura), tamsulosin (Flomax),

cause prostate growth]; finasteride (Proscar), dutasteride (Avodart)
TURP may be need when retention or other symptoms are unmanageable.
Bullous impetigo - correct answer-Vesicles enlarge to form a faccid bullae with clear yellow
